I used the following code to specify the address of variable bar at 0x4000 and the address of function fun at 0x8002000.
int bar __attribute__((section(".ARM.__at_0x4000"))); void fun(void) __attribute__((section(".ARM.__at_0x8002000"))); void fun(void) { // some code here }
However, if I print out the address of the above two:
printf("0x%08X 0x%08X\r\n", (uint32_t)&bar, (uint32_t)&fun);
It outputs: 0x4000 0x8002001
If function pointer is used to jump to 0x8002000 it results in HardFault. If jump to 0x8002001 it will execute the function fun correctly.
Could anyone explain why the function not located at 0x8002000?
(But if I look at the output .hex file, there is some data in the address 0x8002000!)
Thanks in advance!
You need to tead about the arm (and thumb) instructions.
